Q: Who wrote the following about Hillary Clinton in this weekend’s Wall Street Journal:

She is the smile on the Halloween pumpkin that knows the harvest is coming.

A: Peggy Noonan, former speech writer for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

Peggy thinks that Hillary rather doesn’t have to prove to the electorate that she is as tough as a man as that is already established, but does have to prove she has a soft side too. She also thinks Hillary’s candidacy has the chance to resonate among conservative women voters.
